FORMULA
a(n)=-(1/8)*GAMMA(2*n-3/2)*GAMMA(n-1/2)*(-1)^n*64^n/Pi
EXAMPLE
The evaluation of sum(binomial(n, k)*binomial(3*n, k)*k^9, k=0..n) involves the polynomial 2187*n^11+6561*n^10-45927*n^9-28431*n^8+322947*n^7-257985*n^6-473445*n^5+726003*n^4-110482*n^3-189924*n^2+52624*n-4320, the sum of the coefficients of which is -192 = a(2).
